Mother’s Day!!

 

This week was AMAZING!! Probably one of the best! Hope everyone else had da best week eva too!

May 6th: welll today was kinda boringish, not much happened. Well this morning was weird cause we had to get the crashed car from my first day in pulaski and drive it back to the mission office cause they fixed it up so me and Sister Johnson had to drive separately! It was like 18 thousand dollars to fix, geez that lady that hit us hopefully learned her lesson to stay sober while driving. Anyways I had the weirdest mom feelings cause I was driving and I ran a yellow light and Sister Johnson had to stop cause the light was red and I was like "stupid, stupid!!" And my brain was like "my baby!!" Haha ( sometimes you gotta lose somebody just to find that you really love someone ooohh ohhh 🎶 🎵)  okay that's a bit dramatic cause I just pulled over and waited for her and I already loved her before I lost her but anyways we made it safe and sound to the mission office. ( then I lost her on the high way cause I like to speed..tiwi ( little robot that yells at you for speeding)  does not like me but the feeling is mutual.) Anyways so that is seriously the most exciting thing that happened that day.

May 7th: Today was Freaken awesome! Today we were pretty diligent and our effort payed off! So while driving to the Mexico food pantry we called this guy named travis and he is staying at a motel in Port Ontario for now but he wants to learn so when he moves back home we will have to send him to other missionaries but he was cool! Then the food pantry was fun! We cleaned lil bucket things and blue matts. Then we had ice cream with Crystal and Elizabeth! Crystal seriously bought ice cream for us and made us these cool books and she cut out the pages so we could hide stuff in the middle! Anyways I love it! We had an awesome lesson about love,share, invite! Then we met William in the rain! It was like pouring rain and we talked about prayer and Elder hiatt was on a zoom call and it was pretty epicish we could only stand outside for like 10 minutes though cause it was drenching and my Book of Mormon has a little water damage now! But ig it gives it character. Then we had a lessonwith Xaviee about why nephi has to kill laban..he didn't really like our answer cause we said the spirit fr told him 3 times and it was an act of faith, God was testing him! Then we had the weirdest lesson with Hayden on the phone, he was playing his x-box as we talked to him and I was like bro.. so we stopped teaching him. 

May 8th: Today was incredible! Zone conference was in palmyra then we all got to go to the Sacred Grove! Zone Conference was very uplifting and gave us a ton of ideas for finding! So the spirit was strong and the break out rooms were awesome too! Then we went to lunch with some missionaries at tullys which is like a popular chicken place in NY in liverpool! Then we had an awesome lesson at the Donahues about love share invite cause we were asked to share that with all the members this week! And Sister Donahue showed us Tai Chi!! It was really fun to do it with her! Lol, she had like a whole poster of all the moves!

May 9th: We met this inactive member named sister Bauer! We hot super lost getting to her house and apparently most people who are trying to go to her house get stuck in a swamp so I'm really glad we rerouted and didn't go down the swamp trail..cause that looked sketch and I didn't trust it! Good thing, even though cause we didn't go down it we were 45 minutes late and also almost ran outta gas!! But thankfully we were able to fill up cause we were almost completely empty! Then we got to know her and taught atonement of Jesus Christ! Then she let us stay at her house and have our missionary meeting in her kitchen and she made us soup! It was awesome! After her we had a lesson at the church with Frank and Sister Giovo! We read the confrence talk the first great Commandments by Jeffery r holland! Then we did finding and went to the Johnsons and had a cracra time there! 

May 10th: Today was actually the best day though cause so much happened! This lady lost her dog so we stopped to help her! I prayed like 15 times and finally we found her dog and we got the lady's number! She was so happy to find Lulu and said she would be interested in learning about Jesus! Then we had a zone comp study on being more patient and that was really good! Then we had a lesson with Sister pappa about love share invite! Then we had the same lesson with the Berry's and then we met four Jamaican dudes! And they were really nice and we gave all of them bibles and book of Mormons! And they were like "how much does it cost??" And we were like it's "free!" And they were lucky "yay!" We committed them all to read the intro and that we would come back in a couple days to see how they did! Then we called our bud Rick and he is next door neighbors with this drug addict we used to teach.. so yeah but Rick is way cooler and doesn't do drugs

Sunday was awesome!!!! 

 Haha love ya!
